At about 20 km (12 mi) before the mouth, a branch to the right is split named Teliin Gol (телийн гол) (which until 2013 was dry for many years[3]) which delivers water into the river Шуду-Гол (Shudu Gol), which sinks into the lake Khökh Nuur.[1]
Usage
In 2014, around 0.5 million m3 (18 million cu ft) of water was withdrawn from the river for livestock and industrial use.[4]
